Easy version control for assemblies?

[bgowland]

Using VS C# 2005 Express, I usually edit the AssemblyInfo.cs to contain something similar to...

Code:

[assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.1.*")]

...which auto-generates the build and revision numbers but this gives things like 1.1.2927.12087. I'd much rather have a simpler increment such as 1.1.4, 1.1.5 etc.

Obviously I could manually edit the AssemblyInfo.cs file with those values but with several assemblies in one solution, this is a bit of a hassle.

How do other developers handle this?

Cheers,
Brian

I don't know if they do.

I do the same as you 1.1.* and when I list the version of the software it's 1.1 the other the numbers I don't tend to pay much attention to.

Thanks - it looks like I'll just stick with the way things are.

You can define a global const somewhere, and refer to it in every assemblyinfo :

public const string AssemblyVersion = "1.1.12.0";

...

[assembly: AssemblyFileVersion(GBPvr.X.Y.Constants.AssemblyVersion)]

Then you must only update it in one place and all your assemblies have the correct version.
